    Good morning,
    I need some advise I've been stuck for couple weeks at this same weight. It's getting very frustrating. I'm just wondering if anyone has advise on what to do. I haven't even lost pound or anything I do cross fit 4 times a week. Anything helps please!!

      If you're logging your food, tighten it up. Make sure everything is accounted for and, if you need to, use a food scale to ensure your portions are what you say they are.

      If you aren't logging your food, start now. Losing weight is about calories in<calories out, and if you have no idea how much you're eating, it's extremely difficult to lose.

      Have you checked your body fat %? You could very well be losing fat and gaining muscle. Weight is just a number but inches tell the truth

      I second the tightening up of your food logging, I have been sloppy with logging and went into maintenance (knew I was) and recently tightened it up and began weighing and measuring more and I've gone back into losing.

      Do you eat back any of your exercise calories? Do you have other forms of measurement that you use(inches/cm in arms,legs,waist,hips, etc.)? How are your clothes fitting?

      There are scales that can measure your body fat. You can also pick up some skin fold calipers pretty cheap. Most gyms have a trainer that could test your bf.

      Cut your carbs = Lose weight! I noticed a difference right away when I did (30lbs so far). If you're eating any carbs, do it before noon, and after that do healthy meats with good fats & veggies, and no eating after 7pm. If you do that in addition to your crossfit, and it should start melting off!

      On my 4 1/2 year journey I have stuck at numbers so many times. The main thing is to just keep on keeping after it. Log everything. Are you hungry a lot? You might have hit a time when you need a recovery period adding in a couple hundred daily calories for a couple weeks then reducing them again. Just something to think about.

      This might be something to consider.

      I see lots of people jumping to this but I haven't really found someone on here who has stuck to a ketogenic diet long term(3-5 years). It works short-term, seen it, watched it. How sustainable is it long term?

      I have actually never done any measurements not even before I lost 15 pounds. So I can tell my waist is little smaller but everything else fits the same. But. I don't much carbs I guess I do like potatoes, n hash browns. Veggies are hard for me to eat I'm not big veggies eater unfortunately.
